So I finally did it, I completed my life long dream of moving to Music City, USA: Nashville, TN.
As a musician I've dreamed of this day for many years. I've dreamed of singing on the Grand Ole Opry and working my way through the honky-tonks of broadway. With a city that is run on the ever changing music industry, where everyone has awkward work schedules, there is always something to see and do. The downtown area is always bustling even on Sunday and Monday evenings which was unheard of back home.

What is most amazing to me is the creative spirit that takes over this town. Almost everyone here is an artist in some way or form and it really shows in the love and support that artists get in this community. Any night of the week you can find a new art show or album release party and everyone in the city comes out to support its artists!

One of my very favorite places in town is Hillsboro Village. This village sets close to the Vandebilt campus and has many fun boutiques and art shops. It reminds me of a little Etsy village there all always fun things to see, do and buy here. And if you are there make sure you stop at the famous Pancake Pantry to a meal!

Welcome to the lovely designs of Mystic Wynd. Karen is the designer of Mystic Wynd and MWElegance on Etsy and also a wonderful blogger.
Karen resides in sunny Arizona which sounds amazing to me when I'm living in this Nashville humidity!
Through her two Etsy sites, Karen designs many different styles of jewelry that I know will catch your eye!

In her first shop MysticWynd, she has many different styles of rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets. Many of these fall into certain themes that she likes to work with, which can be checked out on her Etsy page.

I really, really enjoy these blue floral earrings!

Now for the upcoming bride or for anyone who loves elegant jewelery, you have to check out her MWElegance page. It has many simple, classy designs for your big day or day at the office!

It is that time of the week again, time to show you the work of a fellow BESTeamer and this week it in YouAreMySunshine. Youaremysunshine is run by Nina, who's name comes from the lovely song, originally written by the Jimmie Davis (Yes I LOVE music history!) According to her profile, the song has become a nice little family tradition and the inspiration for her name.

Maybe You'll Likey?
